at the terrorists...who claimed the lives of people just doing their duty.

WALK AWAY FROM THIS NEW WORLD THAT THEY WERE HELPING TO BUILD FOR OTHERS.
MADELEINE ALBRIGHT/SECRETARY OF STATE: MAY OUR FALLEN COLLEAGUES AND LOVED ONES BE FOREVER HONORED, FOR WE WILL NEVER CEASE TO
BE PROUD OF THEM. MAY THEY REST IN PEACE, FOR WE WILL NEVER FORGET THEM.
Before the ceremony, the President met with each of the families, and
the White House said he was impressed with their dedication to country,
and struck by their strength in the midst of their sorrow.

FIND THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE EVIL ACTS AND SEE THAT JUSTICE IS DONE.

TERROR AND WITH THE FRIENDS OF FREEDOM EVERYWHERE. WE OWE IT TO THOSE

[SUPER=03-Staunton;]
Virginia is caring for some 21-hundred mentally ill patients in 10 hospitals across the state.
A consultant's devastating report, released last month, says a large number could live in the community.
The head of the state's only mental health research unit says "A-typical anti-psychotic" drugs, available since 1990, would make that possible now.
They simply cost too much for state budgets to fund.

Japanese researchers say people who are seriously overweight are not only at greater risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke, they also appear to be more likely to develop gum disease, the most common cause of tooth loss in adults.
The study followed 241 men and women and concluded the risk of periodontitis, or gum disease, increased as body mass index went up.
Subjects who were overweight had more than three times the risk of gum disease compared with the leanest individuals, and those who were obese had eight times the risk.
Obese individuals are more likely to develop adult onset diabetes, a known risk factor for gum disease.
